Rockbridge Moves Up Squarely to the
Front.

The Democratic County Convention to
nominate candidates for the House of Dele
gates assembled in Lexington on the Gath
instant without a vacancy in the delega-
tions from the precincts. Dr.J. L. Leitch,
of the Buffalo district presided. On the
first ballot, votes were cast for eleven DIFF
ferent persons, Hon. VIM. A. Anderson
receiving 80 out of total of So. The bal
loting continuing, on the fourth John L.
Mckee, Esq, received more than ma
jority of the whole, and then the two were
declared, by unanimous and rising vote,
the candidates of the party.
The Convention also passed compliment
tary vote of acknowledgement to the late
members of the House of Delegates, Cap
tain G. +. Jordan and DIR. ]. A. Arnold,
who declined further service, and OF SYM
pathy with the latter who is a sufferer from
protracted feeble health.
The gentlemen selected to lead the
Democr ats of Rockbridge to victory In the
present contest are admirably chosen. MIR.
Anderson has long experience in the Legis-
lature, and possesses superior ability and
culture, and is bold, aggressive, and lear
less. He is one of the best posted OF our
rising young men in the Democratic creed
and progress, as he is in exposing the false
doctrines and Elusive schemes of the oppo-
sition to regain power in Virginia. MI.
Mckee is in the prime of manhood, and
model farmer of the Natural Bridge dis
trict. He has applied in business pursuits
his early and elegant opportunities and
training and has served his people on the
Board of Supervisors with ability, receiv-
ing their highest concentrations. Popular,
sincere and leading in his walk and inter-
course, it was the voice of the whole county
that would not refuse this service of him,
when in connection with his associate on
the ticket. Rockbridge Democrats intend
to wipe out the effect of the lethargy of
1886, and to solidify the strength of the
party as it was before false theories divided
their ranks. This they did in the May
election for county and district officers, and
intend to repeat it with an unmistakable
majority should the opposition attempt to
meet the issue.
The Prohibition party of the county have
declined to bring the temperance question
into politics, and intend to leave the field
to squire open contest between the DEM
ocrats and the Mahoneites if that faction
sets up its motley colors in the pending
canvass.
